That's really awesome! I run JimSturgess.org. Can you tell me any more info on the movie? Did you meet Jim? Do you have any photos? :)

Who's that?

A rising star. He had a lead role in Across The Universe, as Jude.
In this film, he is playing the part of Martin McGartland, although his name is not that in the movie.

I was an extra in this as well, I played a pall-bearer in a funeral scene with Jim. I recognised him from "Across the Universe", but everyone else assumed he was a local actor due to his superb Irish accent. Great actor - one to watch.

Thanks for the posting!
I really appreciate it.

>Great actor - one to watch.

I agreed! And he is also a great singer.

HE HAS AN IRISH ACCENT IN THE MOVIE! oh lord *swoon* AND according to the sypnosis he gets to be all bloody and sweaty. Yes I am shallow and a little messed. But seriously, I's really like to know more about what type of movie he's making and the character he and the others play. I guess I could just read the book though...

looking forward to seeing this.

I did a bit of acting on this film. I was the father of a family whose house is raided by british soldiers. They wreck my living room and pin me up against a wall. It was pretty cool as I got really roughed up and I was trying to fight back but those guys were big!
